Select file deleting problem.

I dont know if this is a bug or not, but ive had this problem throughout all the powerarchiver releases ive tried 8-9.
In zome zip files whenever i try to delete a certain file a from a zip by selecting it and hitting delete it progresses but the file isnt deleted. The only way to successfuly delete the chosen file from the zip is by selecting delete and manually typing in the name of the file.
Would love to hear some feedback on this its wierd almost as if the file isnt recognized as being selected when i try to delete it…

what type of file are you trying to delete and what is the name of it and what is it. What size is it and can you post it to the forums. this will aid the developers a bit. As for the ault i have not come across it with powerarchiver only that you can’t delete the archive itself without using explorer and deleting it that way.

That was it I was using the .30 version, after uninstalling it and reinstalling the new .31 everything works smooth now.
I thought I was having this problem in version 8 as well(seemed to happen with any zip file, regardless of the filename or format of the file inside when the zip was around 1mb or above) and it would push me away from using it.
Now thats fixed I’ve found my new and only archive utility.
Thanks.

You should use Total Commander for deleting those files, until PowerArchiver includes this feature. I had this like of problem before when I had more that one million AVI files in one folder. Windows crashed immideatly when I’ve enterred the folder.

Going forward, it is always important to have backup systems in place! one main service I use “FREE” is “Idrive” I have 12 gigs of data free which is use to backup important files, my documents and anything I feel i need to via the internet. Should the worst happen recovering the files could not be simpler!
Keeping backups via an extra disc or harddrive is great but if the worst should happen ie a house fire most of the times the back drives and discs are destroyed or too damaged to use.
These days a majority of internet users have a stable and fast enough connection to stream files online so these online backup companies are able to lower their prices due to the increase in demand.
Grant you wont be able to backup all your movies, music etc… But anything important such as photo’s or personal documents and files would benifit.

So far I’ve tried e-mailing about this problem but heard no reply so I thought hopefully you guys can see my problem here.
The problem I get is that when I double click on a file to open it within PA it won’t, since it won’t recognize my custom classes, as shown below (here is an example of mp3):
//==Start==
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3]
@=""
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\DefaultIcon]
@=“C:\WINDOWS\Icons\FileIcons\FoobarFile.ico”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell]
@=“foobar2000.play”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell\Audacity]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell\Audacity\command]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell\VLC.play]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell\IrfanView\command]

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell\wmplayer]
@=“Play in Windows Media Player”
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT.mp3\shell\wmplayer\command]

//==End==
From what I can see (I shall use the above as an example), PowerArchiver looks for the file type (.mp3) and sees there is no supposed location for the action (it makes my job easier to put it under the extension you see), so it ignores that there is indeed an action under .mp3, unfortunately PA is the only application I’ve come accross that doesn’t like this.
I actually have the latest stable (9.20) but it has done the same thing since 9.0+ I think, I’ve just beared with it for a while.
Is it possible to let windows just handle it instead of PA looking for the class?
Hope you can fix it, thanks.

@mentorcaptl:
When trying to look at the back-up file created in PA with PA the system hangs. The file is a little more than 6MB in size. We can view the file in Winzip. Is this a known issue or are we doing something wrong?
TIA, Tammy
it is not an known issue thats for sure… so send email to support at conexware dot com.
thanks!
